Question

What mean hardware and software in electronics and communication engineering?

Answer 1

Hardware is the electronic and communications equipment.  It consists of integrated circuits, transistors, resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers, diodes, LEDs, lamps, switches, relays, connectors, wires, and other components.  It also consists of packaging, cases, and printed circuit boards.

Software is the set of instructions that tells all that hardware what to do.  Some integrated circuits are called microprocessors and they need instructions to operate.  The software is that set of instructions.
